It is important to clear the hw->state value for non-stopped events when they are added into the PMU. Otherwise when the event is scheduled out, we won't read the counter because HES_UPTODATE is still set. This breaks 'perf stat' and similar use cases, causing all the events to show zero. This worked for multi-pcr because we make explicit sparc_pmu_start() calls in calculate_multiple_pcrs(). calculate_single_pcr() doesn't do this because the idea there is to accumulate all of the counter settings into the single pcr value. So we have to add explicit hw->state handling there. Like x86, we use the PERF_HES_ARCH bit to track truly stopped events so that we don't accidently start them on a reload. Related to all of this, sparc_pmu_start() is missing a userpage update so add it. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
